The nearly week-long protest disrupted auto production in both countries, but it was returning to normal on Tuesday.
Canada’s Emergencies Act allows the government to ban the blockades and begin towing away trucks. Officials said it forbids bringing children to illegal protest sites. Authorities have said the faceoff in Ottawa has posed problems because of the presence of children.
